I have lost my passport in January 2018. What is the procedure to get a new one? Can I also check with your office?
My passport holds different names (Tumukunde Anthony). When I contacted the receiving tent, they took it back and just wrote on the observation page correcting the mistake but which was not rectified in the machines and this has caused me to suffer while traveling and also obtaining visa.
I therefore request the management to help me on that.
Please tell me if I can download the forms online and fill by myself.
